Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in birth self-efficacy level at 2 weeks (after intervention).	CBSEI was administered as a pretest to all pregnant women in the three groups. After two weeks CBSEI was administered as a posttest to the pregnant women in all three groups.	Childbirth Self-Efficacy was measured with Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI) Short Version. The scale consisted of two sub-dimensions, self-efficacy expectancy and outcome expectancy. The highest score to be taken from the sub-dimensions was 160, and the lowest score was 16. Pregnant women's having a high score on this scale meant that the level of their childbirth self-efficacy was high.
